Accordingly this financial report is to be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Report for the year ended 31 December 2015 and any public announcements made by United Overseas Australia Ltd during the period ended 30 June 2016 and in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules. The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent financial report. (b) Reporting Basis and Conventions The half year financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value of accounting has been applied. (c) Investment Properties The fair value model is applied to all investment properties. Investment properties are independently revalued, which are performed on an open market basis, which represents the amounts for which the assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing buyer and knowledgeable willing seller in an arm s length transaction at a valuation date. The fair value of the investment properties held by the UOA Real Estate Investment Trust ( UOA REIT ) were assessed by the Board of Directors of UOA Asset Management Sdn Bhd, the Manager of UOA REIT based on the indicative market values by an Independent Property Valuer, PA International Property Consultants (KL) Sdn Bhd on 30 June In arriving at the indicative market values, the valuer has applied the Investment and Comparison Methods to assess the market values of the investment properties. Whilst a full valuation has not been conducted, the valuations performed indicated a small increase in the value of the properties and hence confirmed the assessment by the Board of directors that the existing book values as at 30 June 2016 are fair. The last full valuation of these properties was done on 31 December 2015 by PA International Property Consultants (KL) Sdn Bhd, an independent Property Valuer based on the Investment and Comparison Methods of Valuation. All other commercial properties have been reviewed in conjunction with PA International Property Consultants (KL) Sdn Bhd and PPC International Sdn Bhd by the directors who are of the opinion that the carrying values reflect the fair value of the investment properties. The directors have also reviewed the valuation of all residential properties in conjunction with PA International Property Consultants (KL) Sdn Bhd based on the Comparison Method and opined that the carrying values reflect the fair value of the investment properties. 14

25 As the auditor of United Overseas Australia Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report. A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Independence In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act Conclusion Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of United Overseas Australia Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a b giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity s financial position as at 30 June 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations GRANT THORNTON AUDIT PTY LTD Chartered Accountants M J Hillgrove Partner - Audit & Assurance Perth, 29 August
